Understanding Relative Pronouns and Adverbs

Miss Heeny introduces the concepts of relative adverbs and relative pronouns. She explains that relative adverbs introduce dependent clauses that describe a place, time, or reason, with examples like 'when', 'where', and 'why'. The video includes practice exercises to identify these adverbs in sentences. The lesson then shifts to relative pronouns, which stand for nouns and introduce dependent clauses about nouns. Examples include 'who', 'whom', 'whose', 'which', and 'that'. The video provides exercises to identify these pronouns in context. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
